CSS - Alligning The Logo With The Menu, Opposite Side.

I also am having this problem with the menu in IE6 - the right hand side of the menu dropdown, "Videos", is also showing up on the left hand side, slightly cut off. I know it's "Videos" because when I hover over Videos, the text on the left hand side ("os") also lights up. Is it possible that -999em is not far enough over? What could be the problem/how can I fix this?

A related problem, perhaps, is that the first below-menu item starts about 20px below where it should be. I'm new to CSS programming and I'm not too sure what's going on.

image showing what the issue is at kburke dot org slash menuleft.jpg - I don't have enough posts to link an image.

I really appreciate your help.

The menu's in a 980px wide container. Some of the site's still in tables but I'm working on changing that.

Thanks for taking time to read my question.

How do I position 3 pictures beside eachother with no spaces between them? (so they look like one continuous picture)

eg:
______
|1|2|3|
|_|_|_|

instead of
________
|1||2||3|
|_||_||_|

Thanks,

Brad

Hello, I have this small problem with aligning two elemets. I want the other element to be left aligned and the other right aligned.

This is how it looks like

Code:

<div class="links">
   <div class="name">Kimppa</div>
   <div class="date">10/20/05</div>
</div>

<style>
.links {
   width: 700px;
}

.name {
   // Left-align this element
}

.date  {
  // Right-align this element
}
</style>

Both the name and date elements must be horizontally on the same line (so no line breaks).

Any idea how I could do this?

Hi!

I am beginning to use and learn CSS in more depth as of recent, and I've came across an issue which I wonder if it is a known one, or if it is related to my code.

Within a parent div, I have floated a div element to the right of another div element with the use of float:right; . The floated div is a class which is used two times in this instance, thus I want to define the margin-left it should have to the leftmost element in the parent div, but also which the second iteration of this will have in relation to the first one.

However combining the float:right; and margin-left:xx; lines, the element margin does not start with the end of the leftmost div element which I am seeking to float it to the right of, rather, the margin is for some reason beginning in the middle of the parent div.

Is there any known issue here that I need to be aware of, and is it possible to get the margin to start at the end of the first (and leftmost) div element.

I am using a margin-right for the time being to get some reasonable positioning, however the result is a compromise of what I originally intended.

Hi, I'm having a slight problem with my css.

I want to display a comment with a number of images to the right of it.

e.g

"Excellent" plus 5 stars next to it (note: images of stars)

so i tried this:

Code:

 <div id = "commentText"> Excellent </div> 
		 
  <div id = "star"> </div>
  <div id = "star"> </div>
  <div id = "star"> </div>
 
  <div id = "commentText"> Fantastic </div> 
   <div id = "star"> </div>
   <div id = "star"> </div>
   <div id = "star"> </div>
   <div id = "star"> </div>

css

Code:

#commentText
{
  font-size: 100%;
  color: #000000;
  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  font-weight: normal;
  padding-left: 30px;
}

#star 
{
  display: inline;
  height: 24px;
  background-image: url(images/star.png);
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  padding-left: 20px;
  
}

I currently have comment with 3 stars displayed underneath it - however they are only half being shown for some reason.

Any help is appreciated to help me get the desired effect. Thanks!

Hi. I've a div container with a gray bg color then inside I've two DIV (left & right). It works on IE but on firefox the bg color the the two DIV is white and if I add bg color=GRAY for the 2 DIV the middle is white.

And I don't want to put bg color on the class = left and right because if I want to reuse these with other stuff then the color won't match to other things.

How can I fix this problem?

Alright, I run a joomla site and im working on making a 100% tableless xhtml compliant template. I'm very new at this so im trying my best to learn.

I used the Lean version of skidoo's layout as the base and then added all the appropriate php tags needed to make it a joomla template. For the one part I need two modules to load right next to each other near the top of the page to mimic the table version of the Latest News and Popular Modules. I'll show you code snipits of how I did it.

Code:

 
html:
      <div id="contentColumn">
        <div class="inside">
          <!-- middle column content begin -->
          <p class="blocktext">
            <?php mosLoadModules( 'banner', -1 ); ?>
          </p>
          <div id="users">
            <?php mosLoadModules ( 'user1' ); ?>
          </div>
          <div id="users">
            <?php mosLoadModules ( 'user2' ); ?>
          </div>
          <p>
          <div id="nofloat">
            <?php mosLoadModules ( 'top' ); ?>
            <?php mosMainBody(); ?>
            <?php mosLoadModules ( 'bottom' ); ?>
          </div>

css:

/*top users */
#users {
    float:left;
	width: 300px;

}
#nofloat {
	float: none;
	
}

So anyways this does indeed put each div tag side by side but my problem is that I need the following PHP code ( <?php mosLoadModules ( 'top' ); ?> <?php mosMainBody(); ?> <?php mosLoadModules ( 'bottom' ); ?>) to return to the next line after the div's, but instead it jumps everything to the right and breaks the template. So I added the nofloat css and that fixed it and put the rest of the content below the side by side div's but now it doesn't work in FireFox. Now I tried padding-top and that worked in both browsers, but its not flexible as the side by side div modules are not always there and I don't want 200px of white space on the pages that don't show it. Also as a side note I tried putting <?php mosLoadModules ( 'user1' ); ?> and user2 into separate div tags that that floated left and right but it had the same outcome, so I stuck with one float left that seems to work the same.

My question is what can I do to make this content show after the side by side div's and not beside it in both browsers?

You can see what I mean by looking at this test site in both IE 6 and FireFox.

Thanks for any help you guys can give me!

Hi. I'm a design student working on a website for my boss, and I've come across a problem and was wondering if someone could help me out. It might be a simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a body wrapper div (subtitle, body text, etc) on the left that's approx. 705 px wide and a vertical navigation bar div on the right that's about 240 px wide. I've tried floating the body wrapper left and the navigation buttons right, but one always ends up sitting below the end of the other. When I use the "clear right" or "clear left" commands, it doesn't help. Any ideas what I could do to get them to line up on the top? I want them to sit next to one another.

Thank you very much for any ideas!

Hi!

I want to have let's say 4 divs of width:25% horizontally side-by-side.

Ex: (I'll ry to draw it )

| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |

Thank you.

Hi Guys,

I'm working on a form, and for the life of me, I can't get these divs to sit side by side.

You can see the test page at www.details.at/search_test.cfm

It's a small form with a few fields and selects

I want each element to sit side by side in a single row.

Here is the code. I thought display:inline; would do the trick, but it's not working.
Code:

<style>
	#control_panel 
		{
		padding:0 0 1em 2em;
		width:600px;
		float:left;
		}

	.smalltext 	
		{ 
		font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	   	color: #000000;
	   	font-size: .7em;
		}
		
	.input 
		{ 
	 	font: .9em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; 
	 	background-color: #FFFFFF; 
		color: #146eb4; 
	 	border: 1px solid #146eb4; 
		}
		
	label
		{
		text-align: left;
		display: block;
		}

		
	div.search_cell 
		{
		display: inline;
		}
		

</style>


<div id="control_panel">

	<form action="http://test.at" METHOD="post">

		<div class="search_cell">
			<INPUT class="input" NAME="search_box" value="" size="25" maxlength="200"> 
			<label for="search_box"><span class="smalltext">search</span></label>
		</div>

		<div class="search_cell">
			<select class="input" name="range">
				<option value="50">50</option>
				<option value="Any">Any</option>
				<option value="1" >1</option>
			</select>
			<label for="search_box"><span class="smalltext">within</span></label>
		</div>

		<div class="search_cell">
			<select class="input" name="range_measure">
				<option value="Miles">Miles</option>
				<option value="kilometers">Kilometers</option>
			</select> 
			<label for="search_box"><span class="smalltext">range</span></label>
		</div>

		<div class="search_cell">
			<span class="smalltext">of</span>
		</div>

		<div class="search_cell">
			<INPUT class="input" value="" type="Text" name="location" size="10">
			<label for="location"><span class="smalltext">city & state or postal</span></label>
		</div>

		<div class="search_cell">
			<INPUT class="input" type="submit" name="Submit" value="Go">
		</div>

	</form> 	

	</div>

</div>

i have two divs that are side by side and i want them to have the same height, but i will not know the height ahead of time as the content for at least one of the divs is dynamic (calendar list) and can contain no items up to as many items as there are time intervals in a day.

the html for the section in question is Code:

<div id="spotlight-wrapper">
	<div class="spotlight">

Hey guys! Usually if you make a table and then make another table, the other table will be located below the table before. I want them to be side by side.

So I tried this CSS value :

table {
display : inline;
}

then it worked, but the problem is, that if the tables have different sizes, the smaller one is not aligned to the top and looks smaller than the table before it. I want them all to be aligned to the top. I tried vertical-align:top and valign="top", but they still don't work...

Is there any other way to make tables have no line breaks before and after the table? Is there any other property that controls the line breaks of the table? I tried display:table-cell , but the problem is still the same. thanks

Hello,
I have a problem that is making me crazy!
I have a simple page with some news on it. Every news is a <div> and contains two floating blocks: Image(floating left) and the text(also floating left). These blocks must stay side by side and NOT one over the other.
The width of the news <div> can be 500-550px max for layout reasons. If the text is longer than the space available Firefox moves the entire text block under the image, while IE resize correctly the text block.

I have tried to apply diplay:inline; to both blocks with no effect.

Here is the test page Link
(I have limited the width to 500px to simulate the real layout.)

CSS:
Code:

.news {
	float: left;
	clear:left;
	margin: 0 0 1em 0;
	width: 100%;
}
.img_hl {
	float:left;
	margin-right: 10px;
}
.newstext {
	padding-top: 1em;
	float:left;
}

Please help me!!

Hey,

I'm not entirely sure why this is happening, you can see it here

and the css

I've been having some issues getting a design for a site I'm co-authoring to display correctly using CSS. I know that what I'm trying to do should be possible, but I haven't been able to figure it out and am getting pretty damn frustrated with the whole thing. I could probably do it with tables, and right now I have it set up with some javascript that I threw together, but css+divs would be the ideal solution.

Anyways, this is basically what I want to try and do (that's the javascript version). Just resize the window a bit to see what i'm getting at.

Here's the source:
Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
	<title>Title</title>

	<style type="text/css">
		<!--
 
		#leftpane {
			float: left;
			height: 100%;
		 	border: 1px solid black;
		}


		#rightpane {
			float: right;
			height: 100%;
		 	border: 1px solid black;
		}

		-->
	</style>

	<script type="text/javascript">
		<!--
	
		// get rid of all this javascript and figure out a way to do this with css
		
		var windowWidth = 800;
		
		window.onload = function() {
			getWindowSize();
			resizeLeftPane();
		}
		
		window.onresize = function() { 
			getWindowSize();
			resizeLeftPane();
		}
	
		function getWindowSize() {
			if(window.innerWidth) {
				windowWidth = window.innerWidth;
			} else if(document.documentElement.clientWidth) {
				windowWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
			} else if(document.body.clientWidth) {
				windowWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
			}	
		}
		
		function resizeLeftPane() {
			var rightpaneWidth = document.getElementById('rightpane').offsetWidth;
			var margin = 10;
			
			document.getElementById('leftpane').style.width = String(windowWidth - rightpaneWidth - margin * 3) +'px';
		}
		
		//-->
	</script>
</head>

<body>
	<div id="leftpane">
		<p>this pane needs to stretch as wide as it can while leaving room for the image at right, whose width is arbitrary</p>
	</div>
	<div id="rightpane">
		<img src="http://movingboxstudios.com/testz0rz/images/box.jpg" height="100%" alt="image" />
	</div>

</body>
</html>

Basically I need a way to have 2 elements next to eachother, 1 of which is an arbitrary size and the other be wide enough to fill the rest of the containing block. Any help would be much appreciated.



EDIT: Here's a link to the actual working design, maybe that'll help in understanding my question (don't open it in IE unless you want a facefull of ugly).
